Firstly let me apologise for the delay in getting this Vine set up, I've been very busy with trading and college but here it is. Same story as the Van Halen show from the same date.

Heres the story. My Dad went to see Black Sabbath supported by Van Halen at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, June 1978. He taped the show, he did both sets. Up until 2004 when the shows were liberated, these shows remained completely unsurfaced, I have never seen them on any trading sites, this goes for the Sabbath show too.

Unforuntaly it seems my Dad hasn't been credited on the Black Sabbath known audio list for this show, but I am totally certain the recording awknowledged by the site is my Dads.

The equipment he used was just a tape recorder that he smuggled into the show, and as far as transfer goes, there was minimal editing, no effects, minimal noise reduction, so this show is basically EXACTLY the same as it appears on the original master cassette that was recorded on the night. I believe he was up in the circle so for those of you into recording positions etc..

I have been apart of some other vines, and people have just stuck there name on the list and not submitted there address, so the Vine then gets held up and basically collapses.

I'm sorry if I seem a bit harsh on this subject, but for the genuine guys like On Fire, Victim of Sciene etc someone holding up a Vine is out of order, usually its due to unfortunate circumstances, but for instance look at the Wild In The Stadium Vine, it seems like everyone has given up on that.

Guitarfreak... The post in this thread was your first on the site. Have you given Creeping Dave your address and do you plan to stick around to get this onto the next person when they join the list?

Hi Rob!

Yeah, that was my first post on this site - I've been a lurker at JTT for awhile; I tend to post at VHTrading.com. I'm no stranger to trading, though this would be the first time I've been involved in a vine. Obviously I would be sending the disc on to the next person in line. I had expected that I wouldn't send my info to Creeping Dave until he had the show, but I'd be happy to give it to him in advance if that's prefered.

I can see why it would seem as if I'm an opprotunistic newbie though, given the circumstances. If you'd prefer, I could sit this one out and just message someone to arrange a trade later on.

Regardless, thanks for putting this new Sabbath (and the Van Halen obviously) show into circulation. Along with the two Niagra Falls shows from '76 and '78 that came to light a few days ago, this makes three new shows in a single month!

Hey Guitar_Freak, its not a case of wanting you to sit out on the vine at all mate, I was just checking to make sure that you were for real etc, and its plain to see that you are so I got no worries!

I was just posting a general message to everyone about the subject of just signing up and not actually taking part in the vine, although I happened to notice your posting count and just thought I'd check. I dont mean to put anyone off the vine etc!

Way to crack that whip! We'll get all those vines moving again someday with people like you around!

Some of those vines have been pretty bad. I really like the vines, but I could have bit-torrented some of the vines I've been waiting for on a dial-up connection by now. It is really a shame that people don't just come here at least once a week to check. Much less every couple of weeks.

If there is a reason you can't keep the vine moving, just tell people. I don't think that anybody would mind the wait if we knew what the hell was going on.

Of course, I always remind myself that this beats the old way of getting shows by paying $25 or more for a sketchy LP with random track listings that may sound like it was recorded in the theater's bathroom.
